Loved the New Bond Movie

We've seen two good films this week:

We got "Run, Fat Boy Run"  on DVD which was funny and definitely a feel-good film that we both liked. I wanted to rent Atonement but I knew Craig would rather watch paint dry. Anyway, this film was great, very entertaining.

Last night we got tickets to the opening night of "Quantum of Solace", the new Bond movie. I love Daniel Craig as Bond and think he's probably the best one so far. If you are in the "Sean" camp, please don't give me abuse! Anyway, I don't think it was quite as good as Casino Royale but we both enjoyed it.  The cinema was sold out so we got there early and ate cinema food for dinner.  In other words, we paid a million quid for a greasy pizza and a bag of M&Ms. We had to get there early though - I've left it too late in the past and ended up on the front row, which knocked me sick and made us both as cross-eyed as Marty Feldman for a week.  

One little story worth a mention - about 10 minutes before the film started, a young couple came in. She was a mega-confident blonde, he was trailing behind her. She came up the stairs to the back of the cinema and saw two spaces behind me and Craig. She said to her boyfriend - "let's sit there!"  He said "I think they're probably being held" and they were because there was a big group of high-school kids behind us. She said "if the seats aren't occupied right now, then we are sitting there. Now sit down"  Me and Craig looked at each other and winced.  She marched over to the seats, only to be told quite sternly by the group that the occupiers were out at the restroom and the seats were indeed taken. The boyfriend went back down the stairs and sat at the front. She followed him, gave him a stern telling off and walked out of the cinema (no doubt to get her money back) & the poor guy trudged after her.  If she's such a psycho now, I wonder what she'll treat him like when they get married?
